One WOD at a Time

Original post from Triangle CrossFit


When you first start CrossFit it can seem like getting to where you want to be is going to take forever.   You can experience this same feeling when you've taken a break only to return and find that it seems like you have lost what you had worked so hard to gain.  It's times like these, the beginnings and the returns, where we are vulnerable - vulnerable to skipping workouts, not pushing hard, giving up.  It's during these times that we must step up our mental game and not allow the lazy, negative side of us to rationalize ourselves right out of doing the right thing and keeping the correct perspective.  As we all know, Rome wasn't built in a day.  Well neither is the CrossFit athlete.  Dial down your self-sorrow and focus on one WOD at a time.  Don't think about the future - think about the now and giving it your best.  Rack up enough of these and you'll get your reward.  It's inevitable.
